After 3 years in business we have decided it was time to come out of our shell a bit and get both our feet wet at the Fly Fishing Shows! Well, one foot wet first as we support our dealers in Colorado and Massachusetts in their booths, and then both feet ... in no waders but hoping the water will be warm as we hold our own booth at the Somerset, NJ show and likely the Pleasanton, CA show. Journalist and tenkara enthusiast Morgan Lyle picked up on these news a couple of weeks ago and wrote an article about the historic news! This is the year tenkara will dominate the Fly Fishing Show route and we look forward to your presence and support.
